Accordingly, the Vietnamese women's team has 1,614 points, ranked 37th in the world and 6th in Asia. The team is behind the women's teams of Japan, the DPRK, Australia, China and South Korea.
In Southeast Asia, the Vietnamese women's team is still ranked No. 1, above the Philippines (ranked 41st in the world) and Thailand (ranked 46th in the world). Compared to the most recent rankings announced in March 2025, the position of the Vietnamese team has not had many changes.
The Bangladesh women's team is the team with the most progress in the Asian region, increasing five places to 128th, while the UAE women's team dropped five places to 117th.
Since the beginning of 2025, the Vietnam women's team has had a truly notable match, a friendly match against Germany's Werder Bremen women's club. As a result, coach Mai Duc Chung's team lost 1-4.
At this time, the Vietnam women's team is training in Japan to prepare for the qualifying round of the Asian Women's Football Championship.

In August, the Vietnam women's team will compete in the Southeast Asian AFF Women's Cup, taking place from August 6 to 19 at Lach Tray and Viet Tri Stadium. The draw results put the team in Group A with the women's team. This is not too difficult group for coach Mai Duc Chung and his team.
